    Hi there,

    Are you needing to get the text off of a PDF document to use it on your page?

    Or do you prefer to have it available to download as a link?

    Here are detailed instructions about Uploading Documents, which includes making link for readers to download it from your page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/uploading-documents/

    To get the text off the PDF document, if it does have readable text, you may be able to open it in Adobe Acrobat, then copy and paste the text into your website page. There are also services online available that extract text. Just do a websearch for “extract text from pdf”.

    If your PDF does not have readable text, and instead seems to be more of an image (like a scanned document saved as an image then converted to a PDF), you may just have to re-type it.

    Let us know if you need more help with this. Thanks!
